Not only that, someone in pics and videos showed his pontiac with GM's new 3.5L and it is rated at 200/201 hp/tq.
Hello, welcome to Fords 97+ duratec 3.0's???

Also, in the higher price range where the LS 3.0 and the Jag 3.0, both pumping out more standard HP.
The Jag was what... 240HP?
Level of car, traction, shifting comfort, etc. all have to do with the power of the motor. I'd bet that the fusion 3.5L is detuned for a smaller more base engine so that they can afford to use a cheaper transmission and drivetrain.
If/when it pops up in the higher end models it will be pumping closer to 300 I bet.
